Remeber you can't take an armour save, then an invunerable save. you can only take one. Usually your armour save is better, but if the weapon negates your armour save you would take the invnerable save instead.

"DICE FOR THE DICE GOD!"

And the almighty Dice God said to his followers "Thou shalt not speak ye words "anything but a one" For thou whoever'st speaketh this blasphemy will be cursed with thy rolls being of one".

I'm guessing you dont have the rule book so the reference is probably no good for you.

When you get hit by a weapon that has an armour piercing value higher or equal to your armour save, you die without rolling an armour save.
Upsetting i know, BUT if your model has an Invunerable save you get to roll tha instead.

For example.

You have a terminator, which has a 2+ save plus a 5+ invunerable save.

If he gets hit by a heavy bolter which is Armour piercing 4 you get your normal 2+ save

If he gets hit by a plasma gun which is Armour piercing 2 you dont get your 2+ save because it pierces 2+ armour. Instead roll a 5+ invunerable save.

There a other complications like instant death, where if a weapon's strength is higher or equal to your toughness you get no armour save or invunerable save!!!

One is not to question why, but to do and die.

If he doesn't have access to a rule book, then he shouldn't be playing the game. Even the Battle for Macragge is a decent substitute as it gives you everything you need to understand the rules of the game.

Instant Death and Saves are independant of each other. You're still allowed to take Armour and Invulnerable saves against attacks that cause Instant Death.

Hmmm, he is 12, Look at his profile......:rolleyes:
At that age most people dont have Â£40 to spend on a rulebook when they are starting out, you pick up the rules untill you can afford to buy the book.
